If you are unsure of which investment fits your needs best, you may schedule an initial consultation where we will listen to your needs and determine what matters most to you. We look forward to making your event as wonderful and stress-free as possible!
The "LUXE" service is for the company or celebrant seeking a completely stress-free, turn key planning experience, leaving all of the planning and details to us. Events By Chrissie Sue aligns our clients with experienced professionals in an effort to plan and execute each event exceptionally well, while being mindful of the determined budget. We provide on-trend theme + décor concept development and cohesive creative design + styling. Proper time will be taken to determine the type of event you or your company envision, connect with vendors that meet such criteria, then plan and execute an extraordinary event to remember. Let us help you focus your current event vision or completely personalize a design for you! We work with many reputable hospitality vendors; together we bring your event to life with personal touches and picturesque styling. Guided by intention and supported by organization, we customize each event, ensuring alignment of our client's desire with that of their guest’s overall experience.
This "ELITE" service is for the company or host who has already begun the planning process. An event date is set, the venue, caterer and at least one other vendor has already been contracted; but you're seeking professional reinforcement as you do not have the time and/or resources without guidance to secure the remaining vendors suitable for the type of event you are planning. What one may see as partial planning in the industry, we like to think of it as more of a collaborative approach. Our hosts will have full engagement with their contracted vendors but require professional assistance to pull it all together and cohesively style their event. This service also provides "month of event direction" as the primary liaison to all vendors, to execute your vision and plans on your event day, reducing your stress leading to the affair allowing you to be truly present.

BOOK EVENTS BY CHRISSIE SUE! I cannot recommend Chrissie Sue and her team enough! What she has to offer for her services is great and I feel like it has something for any bride. We went with the Elite package as I already had a few vendors lined up prior to reaching out to Chrissie Sue. From day one of reaching out to her, she was organized, responsive and attentive. Every time we had a meeting, I felt like I was meeting with a friend and not someone who was planning my wedding. SHE GETS IT! She gets the anxiety, the stress, the tough decisions, the long conversations with your fiancé on what we should do and what we shouldn’t do. She would sit there and listen to me and then offer guidance on how to handle many different situations… and trust me, you will encounter strange situations during planning! She made the entire process enjoyable!
Chrissie Sue planned the most memorable wedding. She took what we envisioned and brought it to life! We wanted classy but comfortable and I was blown away with how our reception and ceremony looked with table décor and flowers. I’m not the most decisive person so it helped having a planner I could lean on and trust to make the reception beautiful and I felt comfortable giving her the reigns to make decisions. I woke up the day of the wedding with only needing to worry about my bridesmaids and myself getting ready and being at the venue on time (based on the timelines CS set up.) That’s it! Chrissie Sue and her team took care of everything. We had a last minute seat AND Table change and Chrissie Sue handled it-texted her the few details and done. I didn’t need to do anything!
If you want to enjoy and love planning your wedding, not stress, have someone who is knowledgeable, calm and collected, and someone to guide you with details but also listen to you when even the smallest worries start to build up wedding related or not, then GET A PLANNER- GET CHRISSIE SUE! I wish we booked her sooner so we could experience more of the vendors in her network because the vendors she helped get were also phenomenal! Chrissie Sue was a big part of our planning process and wedding day. You always hear couples say they would do their wedding day over again because of how much fun they had… well I would do the entire process over because that’s how enjoyable and fun Chrissie Sue made it!

I am so happy we decided to use Chrissie Sue's services while planning our wedding! We hired her for the "be there" services and Chrissie Sue was available much more than a typical "month of" coordinator. We met almost a year before our wedding and had a few zoom calls the months leading up to our event to make sure we were on track with our planning.
I am organized and enjoy planning so I wasn't sure if I needed a coordinator, but I am SO glad I hired Chrissie Sue! The week of the wedding (before the event), my family and I remarked how Chrissie Sue was going to be the best money we spent on the entire event. She is organized, professional, clear, and easy to get along with.
Both Chrissie Sue and her assistant, Crystal, were amazing throughout our wedding. The whole evening went smoother than we could have hoped! Because of them my husband and I were able to relax and enjoy the day fully, from getting ready in the morning to leaving on the shuttle at the end of the night. I can't recommend Chrissie Sue enough!

Chrissie Sue was incredible to work with from start to finish. Her organization and professionalism was exactly what we needed. She answered all our questions promptly, and had countless helpful suggestions. When it came to the week of the wedding, she made sure everything was in line so the day could go smoothly. On the day, she had an easygoing, yet focused presence, which reminded us we were in good hands. She also was super fun to be around at the reception and kept us smiling and laughing for photos. We are so grateful for her help and support. We highly recommend her for anyone getting married, or another event! We had the best day and couldn’t have done it without her.
Any questions?

I can't say enough positive things about Chrissie Sue and her team! She truly made the entire wedding-planning process so smooth and enjoyable for us as a couple, from creating an incredibly detailed game plan a year before the wedding, to communicating with all of the vendors on our behalf, to bringing our vision to life and making the day of the wedding beyond what we ever could've imagined! She is a super hero in this business and we are so glad we chose to work with her. Beyond being extremely knowledgeable, professional, and organized, she is upbeat, enthusiastic, and a fun person to share the planning experience with. I can't recommend her and her team enough!

Chrissie Sue was absolutely amazing to work with and plan our dream wedding and she delivered exactly what me and my wife wanted. She handled everything and was incredibly thorough and always looked out for our best interest. My wife and I both have busy work schedules so Chrissie sue handled all the vendor vetting and pricing and got us the best vendors as well! She was there with us step by step and explained everything and let us know things we wouldn’t have factored in and would have missed out on. Then the day of the wedding she was on top of everything and controlled everything so we could relax and enjoy the day, she also did a great job of keeping our large wedding party 29 people! on time and in order. Any large event I have in the future I would use Chrissie Sue no doubt!

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Chrissie Sue. As a Type A bride/person, it was hard for me to relinquish control but I would trust Chrissie Sue with my life! She is incredibly organized, dependable, detailed oriented, warm and friendly. She truly felt like a good friend from the moment I met her! Within our first meeting, she had already mentioned 5-10 things we had not thought of for our wedding day, from "would the band setup be in the background of our ceremony" to what appetizers my husband and I wanted to eat in our 10 minutes alone after the ceremony. She was at my side every step of the day and truly made the day run so seamlessly! She was incredibly helpful throughout the planner process and is so knowledgable about the wedding and hospitality industry. Our wedding would have been nowhere near as wonderful without her. Hiring her is the best decision you will ever make!

Fantastic, dependable, enthusiastic, detailed without being pushy. Chrissie Sue will handle all the details of your event like it was her own. She put us at ease on our wedding day, like a life long friend anticipated our every need.
11/30/2023 • Maria F
There’s not enough stars or positive words to describe how truly amazing Chrissie Sue is. We had a particularly difficult venue to work with and hired her the month before our wedding to handle last minute communication with the venue and vendors and she did just that and more. Our venue almost canceled the wedding the night before the big day and Chrissie Sue pulled off some magic, advocated for us and made it happen. We literally wouldn’t have had a wedding without her! She also made sure all of our decor was packed up at the end of the night when the venue decided we could no longer come back the next day for it. If you’re thinking about hiring her for your big day there’s zero chance you’ll regret it. She is amazing and takes all the stress of wedding planning away. Your wedding day will run seamlessly and she truly will always have your best interest in mind.

Hiring Chrissie Sue as our wedding planner was hands-down the best money we spent on the whole wedding! I work in event design and am typically fairly organized, but Chrissie Sue just took SO much stress off my plate. She was a joy to work with and kept us on track every step of the way with weekly check-ins and homework that kept us moving forward. On the day of our wedding she handled everything beautifully! All we had to do was show up and have fun and she took care of literally everything else: tracking vendors, deliveries, wrangling family, timelines, managing people, etc. I would 100% recommend everyone hire her again because she is truly the most capable, friendly, easy to work with wedding coordinator and she really made our day!
10/21/2023 • Sarah R
Chrissie Sue was phenomenal from start to finish. She thought of every detail and made sure everything was executed flawlessly. We were supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it was raining all day - Chrissie Sue didn’t miss a beat. She worked with our venue to create a beautiful space indoors for us. We couldn’t be more grateful for all her efforts, hiring her was one of the best decisions we we could have made. Thank you a million times, Chrissie Sue!
10/10/2023 • Usha K
Chrissy helped with my daughter’s wedding this past weekend. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. I highly recommend her for your future events!
10/09/2023 • Shweta K
Chrissie was an absolutely pleasure to work with for my wedding! We had an Indian wedding and she was so open and interested in learning about our customs and traditions. She was very well organized, efficient, friendly, and super knowledgeable. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to work with her! She was the best!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Chrissy Sue as our wedding planner, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her incredible services. As it was the second marriage for both my partner and me, I initially believed that I could handle all the wedding planning on my own. However, a friend recommended hiring a wedding planner to assist with the details and to coordinate things for us on the big day. After interviewing several candidates, I decided to hire Chrissy Sue for her "Guide ME" and "Be There" services.
From the very beginning, I knew I made the right choice in hiring her. Chrissy Sue proved to be organized, communicative, and professional. She provided monthly coaching calls to give me ideas, offer feedback on my choices, and provide continuous support throughout the seven-month planning process.
On the day of our wedding, Chrissy Sue truly exceeded our expectations. She was able to anticipate our needs, from simple things like providing me with a glass of water to ensuring that the overall wedding theme was flawlessly executed. Her attention to detail was remarkable, and her dedication to excellence was evident in every aspect of the event. Having a background in event management, Chrissy Sue and her staff displayed the utmost professionalism throughout the day.
Working with Chrissy Sue was an absolute pleasure. She is not only highly organized and efficient but also a joy to be around. Her warm personality made the entire wedding planning process enjoyable and stress-free. Chrissy Sue is undoubtedly a "CAN DO" person, and we are beyond thrilled that we hired her for such an important event in our lives.
Finally, we. highly recommend Chrissy Sue to anyone in need of a wedding planner. Her expertise, professionalism, and commitment to her clients are unmatched. Hiring Chrissy Sue was one of the best decisions we made, and she played a significant role in making our wedding day truly unforgettable.
Thank you for making our dream come true!!
xoxo

Chrissie and her assistant were AMAZING. We did the be there package and honestly I cannot imagine my wedding without them. She helped us plan the entire timeline and helped keep us on track. The night moved so smoothly. I highly suggest using her services!
9/01/2023 • Caroline F
I could write an entire short story on Chrissie Sue and how amazing she is. My now husband and I had a two-year engagement, and we really wanted to be smart with what we were spending on (cause, as we all know, weddings are EXPENSIVE) we thought a wedding planner was a “nice to have,” but not a “must have.” By the time we hit the 5-month mark, I was over my head and incredibly stressed. I desperately needed someone to take the reins, and Chrissie Sue did that and more. She’s the definition of organized. She’s a clear expert and incredibly knowledgeable. I was mentally preparing myself for not every single detail to be perfect or for everything to go exactly as I had planned in my head, but we were blown away. Everything from start to finish was perfect because of Chrissie Sue. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing that day. If you’re looking for an event planner who is going to turn your Pinterest board into a reality and more, don’t hesitate and hire Chrissie Sue.

Chrissie Sue is phenomenal! She was immensely helpful and on top of everything. She thought of every little detail. I was able to relax and enjoy my wedding day thoroughly. She helped make our day beautiful and fun.
She is very professional and a great communicator throughout the planning process.

Chrissie-Sue made our day perfect. Her unwavering support and guidance was irreplaceable in the months leading up to our wedding, and her presence on the day of allowed us to be entirely focused on our love for each other. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! Thank you CS!
6/27/2023 • Jacquelyn C
We cannot say enough good things about Chrissie Sue and her event staff! Our day flowed seamlessly thanks to her careful execution and planning with us ahead of time. We chose the ‘Be There’ service since we felt we could handle much of the initial prep work and it was the perfect fit. We had a series of touchpoints where Chrissie Sue had answers to questions we didn’t even know we had and she always made herself available to make sure we were set up for success. On the big day, her and her assistant were incredibly efficient setting up decor, checking in on the wedding party, and adjusting as needed to make the space as beautiful as possible. Her level of professionalism and organization meant that no detail was overlooked and by the end of the night, décor was already packed back in bins to be taken home which was such a relief after such a long day. Chrissie Sue and her team are experienced, adaptable, and an invaluable asset on such a busy and important day and we would recommend them to anyone!
3/23/2023 • Corey B
Chrissie Sue is amazing, and we are so happy that she was part of our wedding! She was an awesome officiant, and also a phenomenal planner! She helped us make a layout for the whole event, which was amazing, because it allowed us to have an event timeline to give to our DJs and Photographer! She was super flexible with meetings, and had several zoom meetings with us to map things out exactly how we wanted them! She was very helpful and informative, and what she said during our ceremony was perfect and wonderful. We are so thankful for the wonderful experience we had with Events By Chrissie Sue!

Hiring Chrissie Sue was one of the best decisions I made while planning my November 2022 wedding in the Boston area! Chrissie Sue provided both month-of and day-of services. About six months prior to the wedding, I started to have monthly calls with Chrissie Sue. During the calls, we reviewed a Google doc Chrissie Sue shared where I populated details of the wedding as vendors were booked and other elements were planned. These calls were very helpful in that they kept me on track during the planning process and gave me an opportunity to ask questions of a highly experienced wedding planner. About a month prior to the wedding, we shifted to weekly calls. (I will also note that during these months Chrissie Sue made herself available for additional calls as things came up and was very responsive via email!) Chrissie Sue coordinated directly with our vendors in the lead up to the wedding, and she also joined our walk through at the reception venue with the caterer and the rehearsal at the church where we had our ceremony. On the day of the wedding, Chrissie Sue and her assistant did a beautiful job setting up the venue exactly how I requested. My mother did my flowers and we had a number of other personal design elements, and I was extremely pleased with how the venue was set up. Chrissie Sue did a great job coordinating the day-of logistics related to transportation, as we hosted the ceremony and reception at separate venues that required guests to be bussed. More generally, she was an excellent coordinator across several vendors on the day of the wedding, as our reception venue rental was only for the space and we had to bring in several vendors. Overall, my husband, our families, and I were able to completely enjoy the wedding and were not at all concerned about logistical elements, which might not have been the case had I not had Chrissie Sue's support. I absolutely would recommend Chrissie Sue to anyone who is planning a wedding in the Boston area!

Chrissie Sue helped plan our wedding in Boston in September. We initially hired Chrissie Sue primarily for day-of coordination, but she provided much more help along the way. Chrissie Sue was always available to answer questions (big and small), provide advice and keep us on track in the weeks leading up to the event. On the actual day, Chrissie Sue and her assistant were fantastic, ensuring that everyone hit their marks and that all aspects of the event went as planned. Her professionalism and experience were so apparent, with everything coming together perfectly.
We started working with Chrissie Sue about 6 months before the date. Biggest regret is that we didn't get in touch with her sooner, as I think it would have saved us a lot of stress in the early planning. It is never too early or too late to check if she is available!
In short, no reservations recommending Chrissie Sue.
11/17/2022 • Marie A
Chrissie Sue SHOWS UP! Having her be a part of our wedding was the best decision we could have ever made. She is an absolutely incredible person and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a planner. She is responsive and caring and really understands how a wedding should flow. If I could give Chrissie Sue more than five stars, I would. Do NOT hesitate.

Chrissie Sue was amazing! From the first phone call just inquiring about availability with Chrissie Sue, I knew that we had found our Planner. We hired her as our "Day of Coordinator" and she was so much more than that!! She helped us organize our whole day beginning at our first meeting. She had endless energy, patience, and down to the minute coordination for our rehearsal and wedding day! Everything went smoothly and on time the whole day and we didn't have to worry about anything! All our guests and vendors wanted her name and commented on how fantastic she was. We weren't sure that we wanted to hire a coordinator, but we are soooo glad that we did!! Chrissie Sue was the best money we spent for our event!
6/13/2022 • Kimheat J
Chrissie Sue is AMAZING!!! I originally started working with her to plan my wedding in 2019 and the pandemic hit and we had to reschedule twice. Through the venue and date changes, she has been a great partner for over 2 years! I worked with her to design the wedding theme, she had great referrals for florists, signage, and anything you needed, she either had it for you or knew someone that did. She followed through on everything, very well organized and thoughtful. Such a warm presence and fun personality! She can pull it all off, soup to nuts wedding or just a plug and play, you can tell she's done it all!! She's an amazing event planner, so happy we got to work together. She's a dream come true to any bride!

I was asked by a dear friend if I would participate in her wedding in a ministerial capacity, I had never done this before but so honored I accepted and became ordained. At this event I was blessed to meet Chrissie Sue I thought it must have been my friends dearest closest friend that I have never met before because she was so helpful, happy, and attentive to my friend, she took everything in stride and put everyone’s mind at easy as to how the day unfolded from one thing to the next. Everyone could just relax and enjoy the day! 🎉 She had everything so seamlessly covered it helped make this special day Even more special…. Thinking Chrissie was a friend of my fiend I explained what an Amazing asset she was to my friend on her special day and suggested she do this for a living! Joke was on me She Is owner operated of Events By Chrissie Sue🎉❤️🐕😎🐾🕊 Amazing, Wonderful, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was married in 1988 to the girl of my dreams…. We Got through the day…. Only thing I would change if I had it to do over… I would have Chrissie Sue by our side so we could have enjoyed it even more! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mark Ventura Sr.

Chrissie Sue goes BEYOND above and beyond. I had a very specific vision, but didn’t want myself or my family members/bridal party to have to spend the morning worried about decor. Enter Chrissie Sue- master planner, organizer, decorator, and executor! From start to finish, I knew that I could undoubtedly rely on her. She made the entire day magical and seamless. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, here is your “JUST DO IT” motivational message. It made all the difference. She was truly a dream come true.
12/29/2021 • Janice T
Where do we begin? Well, the story dates back to February 2019! Yes, under these extraordinary circumstances we honestly had a 2 1/2 year of wedding planning from February 2019 to July 2021. We met Chrissie Sue at a bridal fair and hired her on the spot. Her outward appearance drew us to her because even her clipboard matched her outfit! Detail oriented??? We saw it right away. We also knew from the fact that her mother was with her that we would be in good hands. We found out quickly that she was the one!
For 2 1/2 years she made herself available to us every minute of every day, weekend, morning etc. it just didn’t matter. She returned our calls immediately or texted us or FaceTimed us quickly everytime. And let me tell you that in the 2 1/2 years we became like family.
From the beginning the excitement was building and then the pandemic hit. Boom! We were thrown a situation that no one had ever expected. The best way I could describe our experience was that we were in a shooting gallery and we were being shot at almost every week because plans had changed daily sometimes.
Chrissie Sue was our guiding light in the way that she was able to handle a very emotional series of ups and downs. She would always be there to reassure us that things would be fine and we could make this wedding happen no matter what. And she did just that! Our fondest memory was when we went to a venue to check it out and she took over the reins immediately, Chrissie Sue asked specific questions about the flooring and the lighting and questions that we would’ve never thought to ask in a million years!! She knew her stuff and She impressed us every step of the way with her experience, her knowledge, her professional aura and her take charge personality.
We ended up having a small gathering at a beach in Charlestown Rhode Island with just 22 people…. We actually went from a four day wedding celebration to a 4 hour wedding and we had a list of 125 people but we could only have 22 at the beach. She helped us navigate through this whole process and if it wasn’t for her I’m not sure what would’ve happened.
The following year in 2021 we had a larger, casual celebration at a brewery in Connecticut. Once again she orchestrated the entire event to perfection! It was a great day and the bride and groom couldn’t have been happier!
Basically Chrissie Sue was our savior! She guided us through a very stressful situation….and made it as perfect as it could possibly be. We can’t thank her enough for all her hard work.
If I had more children and weddings to plan, you can rest assured that it would be Chrissie Sue that we would hire.

Chrissie Sue made our wedding day absolutely FLAWLESS. As the bride, I was not stressed at all for the entire weekend (rehearsal through wedding). She walked us through everything step by step and really made our wedding dreams come to life.
Not only was she always quickly responsive when we had questions, she really seemed happy to help us and you could tell that she just loves what she does. She is the best at what she does. I would recommend her to anyone I know.
She went above and beyond (fluffed and fixed my dress all night, brought be drinks all night, made sure we had time to eat without being interrupted by guests, set up everything BEAUTIFULLY, even added her own personal touches to the decorations, and finally when it came to clean up I didn't even know it was happening and when I was ready to go home everything was packed up and ready to go! )
I could not be happier that we had her for put day. When I look back on memories from that day I will always remember Chrissie Sue and will forever be grateful.

Chrissie Sue was the decorator and officiant for my October 2021 wedding. My experience with her was nothing short of amazing. She really brought my vision to life, and she was so helpful throughout the entire process. Chrissie Sue knows the wedding industry inside and out, and she can navigate any challenge that comes her way. On many occasions she went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and successful wedding day. Not only did the décor turn out beautifully, but she was also a fantastic officiant. I really cannot say enough good things about working with Chrissie Sue.

Where to begin?! I had a small intimate wedding and Chrissie Sue was absolutely AMAZING! She took care of everything and when I mean everything I mean it. She was so professional and made my vision of my wedding day great!

Chrissie Sue was invaluable in helping to plan my daughter's wedding. We had to reschedule 3 times and she took care of notifying all the vendors and making sure everyone was available once we finally were able to have a wedding!
She is excellent at the small details while keeping the big picture in mind at all times. Chrissie Sue was able to execute my daughter's vision to make their wedding everything she wanted it to be. We all worked so well together, it was never stressful. Communication is clear and all our questions were answered promptly. Chrissie Sue is professional and efficient but friendly and easy to talk to. She was receptive to our ideas and flexible when we needed to make changes. I am happy to recommend her for any event planning needs!

Chrissie Sue is the absolute best! We hired her for the "Be There" service and she went above and beyond, she was fully invested you would have thought she'd been there from the beginning. Any questions or concerns we had Chrissie Sue was there at anytime! Knowing she was on top of everything made me feel so much more relaxed on the day of our wedding because we knew she had it all under control. I cannot put into words how awesome she was, we even had multiple of our other vendors comment on how organized and on top of everything she was! We tell everyone we know that without a doubt Chrissie Sue was the best money we spent for our wedding!
5/03/2021 • Gabrielle G
AMAZING!!! Chrissie Sue was so helpful and she was there any time I needed her!! No matter what happened I knew I was taken care of, I had zero worries going into my big day with Chrissie Sue (and company) by my side... she made this night one to remember for sure. So thoughtful and on the ball, and kept our crazy wedding party in line! I would 100% recommend.

Chrissie Sue is the best planner that you will work with. She made our day absolutely perfect. She was with us every step of the way, sparing no details. She took our vision and turned it into a reality that was above and beyond what we could have asked for. Having a coordinator made planning and execution a breeze, having Chrissie Sue made our day exceptional. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! 💕

Due to covid our wedding ceremony went through many changes and uncertainties. Chrissie Sue worked with us through all of it to make updates to day of event schedules, guest lists, and venue decor including day of event changes due to weather. Chrissie Sue was very organized to make sure we got everything done including pictures, toast, and dances in a very small time window . We would highly recommend Chrissie Sue to anyone planning their wedding. She is thoughtful, very responsive, and works hard for you before, during, and after the ceremony to make sure your day is awesome.

I knew she was the wedding planner for me from our first phone call! I had called a few places and no sooner did I leave my message with Chrissie Sue, she called me right back and we instantly connected. Her welcoming and energetic voice and wealth of knowledge sealed the deal. I felt like she could see the vision I had right away and knew just how to get us there. After we began working together, I wish I had contacted her sooner! She brought up so many things I never would have even thought of, that really made a huge difference. We chose the "Be There" package. We originally thought we only needed the "Guide Me" package, but quickly realized that the better option for us was "Be There" and we are SO happy we did. Chrissie Sue was THERE throughout the whole planning process. Always a text, phone call, or email away. We truly could not have pulled off our "backyard style" wedding without her. She made our wedding day feel like we were at an actual venue. My now husband and I pulled into his parents' yard where we had our wedding the following day after everything had been cleaned up and were truly shocked. This simple yard had been the most beautiful, romantic set up just a day before thanks to Chrissie Sue. Her set up of the decor was truly breathtaking. It was more than I could have ever imagined. Everything from the ceremony to the reception went so smoothly and was done with such detail, I really felt like I was somewhere else. If Chrissie Sue was THIS good during COVID, I can only imagine what she is capable of! We highly recommend her to anyone planning their big day- especially during this crazy time!

If you want a power house wedding planner or day of coordinator then hire Chrissie Sue. She was the best day of coordinator, I only wish I hired her sooner, she literally took care of everything that day. Including the things I had forgotten about, never even thought of, or just didn’t have time to do myself...she was a lifesaver. She definitely knows what she is doing and arguably the best of the best. I can’t stress enough; if you want to not have a care in the world on the most important day of your life then hire her; you will be so grateful you did.

To put it simply Chrissie Sue’s professionalism and expertise made what could have been a very stressful logistical disaster into an absolutely amazing and stress free experience.
I was referred to Chrissie Sue by a friend and I cannot thank him enough for putting us in touch, as I would have been totally lost without Chrissie’s guidance and prowess in all things planning. Due to the COVID19 pandemic I, like a lot of brides, needed to make some difficult decisions around moving my wedding to 2021. I also, last minute due to changing regulations, made the easy decision to get married in 2020 at a small ceremony. Chrissie took point on both events and made our “plan B” minimony in 2020 into the wedding of my dreams. I have had multiple guests and friends/family who saw photos compliment how upscale and unique every design aspect was, from the stylish flower arrangements, to the little blackberries in the champagne which matched the black chargers, to the sweetheart table decor and plush chair Chrissie had rented for the event.
I had selected the “Do It All” package as I have a high stress job that I knew would not allow me to plan the type of wedding that I had in mind. Though I am organized I knew that I would not be able to articulate a cohesive theme to all vendors in a way where they could seamlessly come together. Enter Chrissie Sue! She was able to take my vague ideas and random Pinterest photos and transform them into something so well executed that it was better than I could have imagined. It was like she was able to read my mind!
Chrissie was there every step of the way and we were on the same page throughout the planning of wedding 1 of 2 :). She truly did do it all and even helped me fix my hair when my curls all fell out due to humidity.
If you are looking for a planner who not only listens to your vision and delvers on it, but also is responsive and passionate (as well as genuinely easy to talk to) I highly recommend Chrissie Sue. I was able to enjoy the minimony to the fullest and now can look forward to the larger wedding/party next year knowing I have Chrissie working with me.

It is so difficult for me to find the right words to put together to truly emphasize how over the top extraordinary Chrissie Sue is. Prior to COVID, Chrissie Sue and I met at a bridal expo and from the first moment I laid eyes on her, I knew this woman would make things happen for me. I had no clue what I wanted for a wedding, but I knew I wanted something out of the traditional venue style. I needed help. Within a day of booking her, she already sent me venue options. She helped me set up Pinterest boards. Chrissie Sue was ALWAYS available. She asked vendors and venues questions that I would have never thought to have asked myself. From traveling around New England to see venues, to going over décor options on her pontoon boat, and coffee meet ups to plan, Chrissie Sue made wedding planning FUN. I actually enjoyed the whole process thanks to her. After COVID hit, things got stressful, to say the least. When we had to cancel/postpone our venue, Chrissie Sue called every single one of my vendors. She found all possible dates they were available, inquired about deposits and contracts, and figured out a plan B…and C, D, E, and F. She provided options I didn’t think were options. We eventually decided on a 20-person micro wedding on the beach at my husband’s parents’ house in Rhode Island. Chrissie Sue made it the best day of my life. The intricate details she put together were outstanding. She made my vision come to life, even when I didn’t truly know what my vision was, but when I saw what she did, it was it haha.
Also huge shout out to her mom, Sue, who hung out at the beach ALL day (10+ hours) to secure our ceremony location. How can you beat that?!
Chrissie Sue is more than a wedding planner. She is an exceptional human and someone who truly cares about you and your wedding day. Chrissie Sue turned into one of my friends and someone who went above and beyond to make everything perfect. I’d be rich if I got a dollar every time I said, “I trust you” or “Whatever you think is best” because I gave my full trust in her, and it beyond paid off.
Especially with COVID, you need someone like her in your wedding planning life. You’d be crazy not to book Events by Chrissie Sue to make your wedding day special.
Thank you Chrissie Sue. From the bottom of my heart. Xo Andrea

If you want someone with on the spot ideas and an amazing vision, then she is the right planner for your day. She is a very motivated person and accomplished two weddings in one day with only a few hours to switch it over. We would highly recommend Chrissie Sue!!

Chrissie Sue was an amazing Day of Coordinator for our wedding! She helped us plan every detail of the event through several meetings in the months leading up to it and was with us during each step on that day. She was patient and supportive in helping us make decisions and worked with us to create a day that truly celebrated us. She answered all of our questions promptly and completely so that we always felt informed and confident and helped us be extremely prepared for the event. We are so thankful to our venue, Butternut Farm Golf Club, for pairing us with such a talented and committed event coordinator. She made our day perfect in every way!

I was never one of those little girls who dreamed about what her wedding day would be like, but if I had been, I could now tell that little girl, “The wedding you’re going to have will make all your dreams come true. It will surpass any expectations you had. The decor will be so beautiful and the food so delicious that people are still talking about it a month later. Your vendors are going to work together so seamlessly that they keep in touch with you and each other weeks after your wedding. You will be engulfed in love and surrounded by all your favorite people. It will be one of the happiest days of your life...and most of all, you won’t have to worry about a thing because it will be perfect.”
I can happily say all those things only because I hired Chrissie Sue as my month of coordinator. I have seven years of working in event planning and my husbands family runs conferences for a living, so we tend to be VERY picky about the people we hire for events, because we are so type-A. However, we knew we needed someone who could take our place because we didn’t want to be the point people on the day of our wedding. Chrissie Sue went above and beyond what we asked her to do. She was amazingly helpful, organized, and made great suggestions! She came to every planing meeting with our venue, worked amazingly well with vendors we had picked ourselves (they were so impressed with her they wrote their own review), and was just a joy to be around. This is the woman you want to hire for any event...and we’ll definitely be hiring her again for future celebrations!

As a traveling wedding filmmaker for the last 7 years, we have never seen a more impressive Event planner! Chrissie Sue was incredibly kind during the entire weekend! We witnessed her attending to so many things anywhere from helping with a bridesmaid's babysitter to averting potential conflict during a reception. She carries herself with joy and confidence, reassures everyone and makes sure all vendors are aware and ready for the next thing to come.
Her balance of professionalism and care for not just the couple but also the family, guests and staff was what impressed us the most. She has even stayed connected after the event. I only wish she was local to our area so we could see and work with her more often.
Please hire this amazing woman for your event. This is a trusted person who will take great care of you and your event!

I can personally say it was the best decision we ever made! We hired Chrissie Sue with Events By Chrissie Sue and she was amazing to work with! Our venue came with a wedding coordinator but about a year into planning, ours left so we had about two months until they reassigned us with a new point of contact, who was also new to the roll. We felt like we needed someone we could trust, that understood our vision, and how to execute what we wanted so we hired Chrissie Sue for her “Design It” & “Be There” services. We spent many hours on the phone and in person. She was the contact person to the venue and all vendors and everything was just so smooth, with no issues and exactly what we wanted, just perfect. Chrissie Sue listens and gets it done; look no further, she’s the best!
Thank you for everything!

Chrissie Sue was the wedding planner for my sister's wedding in early June, and I cannot say enough about how fantastic she was to work with! She went above and beyond to make sure that everything was as my sister wanted, and helped her think through all the small details. On the wedding day, Chrissie Sue efficiently made everything flow smoothly so my sister didn't have to worry about a thing! I would absolutely recommend Chrissie Sue to any bride who wants a thorough, detail-oriented, and extremely kind wedding planner to help them make their wedding perfect.
