Events by Christina Hope

dr our wedding planning process stress-free, organized, painless and FUN. We trusted her with helping select vendors and having the perfect team allowed us to fully enjoy and be present at our wedding without worrying about all the small things. They also helped us find vendors that fit well within our budget which was a huge value. If you are on the fence about hiring a wedding planner, do it. If you are on the fence about WHO to hire - Events by Christina Hope is the obvious choice!!

terally Shane helped me go to the bathroom in my dress. I can’t say enough good things about Christina and her team. They are family now! 10/10 recommend!

ntire event, she is there no matter what. The help and guidance she provided up until the day and even after beyond exceeded my expectations. She handled everything and more so that I didn’t have to - Because of her and her team, my now husband and I were able to fully enjoy ourselves from beginning to end. She thoughtfully took care of everything for us and was a joy to partner with. There are just not enough words to describe how amazing and knowledgeable she is, I recommend her to anyone and plan to continue using her expertise for future events! If it was possible to give more than 5 stars, I definitely would!

big day, she kept me calm and collected. Even with bad weather and many unexpected events, she and Shane went above and beyond to make our day perfect.

busy doing a million other things! Her and Shane were so awesome and made me feel at ease during the most stressful moments. She got along so well with my family and made sure to make the day perfect! She was more like my friend helping me during the process rather than our coordinator. Don't know what I would've done without her advice and help! Would definitely recommend! Also, she takes lots of pictures behind the scenes which turned out really great too!

tina before I realized I even needed a planner, and now I can't imagine how it would have been possible to do it without her. Our venue was a "from scatch" venue if you will. It was a bare bones structure that had to be transformed fully. From the minute Christina came on she took the reigns, took care of all the contracting for all our vendors (and there were QUITE a few since everything had to be brought in separately), and got going on design. She understood my vision perfectly and worked to ensure all the design aspects followed it. She kept me cool when I would lose my head, calmed me down when I would get overwhelmed in moments, and made sure to keep me on track. The day of, I woke up with ZERO stress or worry because I knew that my wedding was in the best hands. Between her making sure the venue and all vendors were perfect, and her assistant Shane being at our beckon call, it was so easy to sit back, relax, and enjoy my most important day. I can't begin to explain how many compliments I got after my wedding. Most importantly, she became a friend through all of this. A companion that I would call/text any time of day with any concern, and that was evident from the day I first met her on the phone!

some. Christina met with us and she was very detailed with everything. She communicated with our vendors often, met with us virtually, in person and via communicated via text. She sent us text messages to see how we were doing as well. I give Christina a high ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🤩. Thank you for everything … we love you! We loved dancing with you and planning. Xo 😘 Christina is very funny, outgoing, flexible and treats you like family. 😉👰🏼‍♂️🍾🤵🏽

ith her.. your wedding will be perfect.

t lie, we picked our venue based on Christina. From our initial meeting she drew us in with both her personality but also with the way she just got our wedding vision in one simple conversation. She even gave us her cell number to help answer any questions or concerns we were going to have. When we made our pros and cons list our biggest pro was being able to work with Christina. We were absolutely devastated when we received the letter that she was going out on her own and leaving the venue. She called us a few days later to let us know that she was available for day of coordination if we were interested. We jumped at the opportunity to work with her. She would routinely check in to make sure we were doing okay and ask if there was anything she could help with months before the wedding even happened. In that time she truly became a friend, our conversations weren’t even about menu choices or vendors but letting me vent about the frustrations of family, wedding planning, and just life in general. She always had advice and a solution. I’m sure other coordinators say they go the extra mile but Christina actually does. She even glued my press on nails the day of because I can’t handle real nails. Her assistant Shane was also an absolute peach who had such a calming personality but also someone you instantly want to be best friends with. I knew I was going to be a stressed out mess but the week and day of our wedding I was so beyond calm and relaxed and I had knowing my wedding was ultimately in extremely capable hands to thank for that. My husband and I look back at our day so fondly and to us it was an absolutely perfect day with zero issues. I’m sure something went wrong somewhere but with Christina we never noticed it, heard about it, or became aware of it. We are so grateful for Christina for making our day flawless. Thank you for being the absolute best at what you do and for just being the best kind of person as well.

ay of Christina took care of every single detail. If you want to work with an organized, reliable, who helps make your day special look no further!

, 6-7 months prior to our wedding, at the Marriott Envue in Weehawken, NJ. The issues started with not having 1 consistent point of contact (sales representative/wedding coordinator) and room block issues. The issues then expanded to multiple representatives, failure to advise on information at signing, chairs, welcome bags, sound amperage, outsourced vendors/corkage fees and more. Nonetheless, we were desperate for someone with experience, knowledge of the business and credibility and Christina was that person. Christina spearheaded issues with me in the months leading up to our wedding. Christina attended countless meetings and defended us when the venue tried to charge us with additional, un-contracted fees. She and I were in constant communication and she always ensured that not only we were happy, but also our families were with the outcomes of the venue meetings. Needless to say, after all of the back and forth with the venue, Christina was always there and extremely supportive. Initially I never thought I needed a planner until so many issues arose with the venue and I am so grateful to Jesse for putting me in contact with Christina, and for Christina's help and coordination the day of our wedding. I along with our families and my now husband, to this day are extremely thankful for all that Christina & her team did. We all were not stressed the day of the wedding which allowed us to enjoy our day.

ctly and let us (the brides) really enjoy our big day. Because of her work our day was completely stress free and we didn't have to worry about anything. Christina was also very helpful during the wedding planning process & even attended a meeting at our venue beforehand to ensure everything would be perfect. I would recommend her & her team (who was also amazing!) to anyone getting married. Top tier service!! Also a great bonus was that she captured some amazing behind the scenes photos for us that we truly treasured!!

ed. I talked to a few companies but no one seemed to really care the way Christina did. It wasn’t transactional she wanted to go above and beyond to make sure my wedding was exactly how I wanted it. She was always responsive, had incredible ideas, was professional but always funny and kept me at ease through the whole process. The day of my wedding there was the only blizzard we had this winter so Christina faced many challenges getting guests in and settled, rounding up bridal parties in a blizzard on the beach to get the perfect shot, down to having security shut down the whole Hard Rock hotel lobby just for my first look!!! But beyond all that, three hours before my Wedding began, my ballroom had multiple leaks from the storm and Christina and her team were able to come up with a game plan, switch ballrooms, keep their cool so I had no idea what was going on and could enjoy myself and finished flipping rooms, with time to spare. It was truly incredible. I could not have possibly pulled off this wedding without her and the bride whisperer will forever hold a special place in our heart! We love you, Coco!

hiring Christina for DOC, she stepped in to help me pick up the pieces where I left off. She was extremely accessible at all times. In fact, Christina responds to messages and calls almost immediately. She even went out of her way to take me to a cosmetic appointment prior to my wedding so we could have some girl time and talk about the wedding. If there is one thing I regret, its not having had the chance to hire her from day one so my stress levels would have been completely mitigated from the beginning. However, I literally had zero stress from the day I hired my bride whisperer. On my wedding day, there were so many moving parts and I literally did not hear about a single problem. Christina handled everything with finesse, ease, professionalism and a smile on her face. Her assistant is amazing as well. I had many family members and guests who were observing her work and complimented me on how well my planner was "on her game". I have literally referred her to every friend getting married and can't wait to use her for upcoming non-wedding events in my life as well! Love you Christina! The best part is, I've made a new lifelong friend. xoxo

he helped us book our date and answered all of my questions when we were deciding which location to choose. I was then able to work with her more closely as my wedding planner where she helped with all aspects of our wedding. She was absolutely AMAZING about making sure all of our details were taken care of and that our wedding day went off without any problems. She made sure that as the bride and groom we didn't have to worry about any aspects of the wedding not going as initially planned and made sure we enjoyed every second of the day. I can't rave enough about Christina making sure we were on time and every detail that I envisioned came to life! Whether it was a text, phone call, e-mail, or in-person meeting, she made sure that I knew she was always available to help with absolutely anything that came up! The peace of mind that she provided me, especially the during the last month leading up to the wedding, was such a comfort and blessing! Christina also provided so many wonderful suggestions and advice throughout the whole process which really helped pull together my vision. She attended all of our vendor meetings right before the wedding to ensure that everyone was on the same page. As soon as I started to interact with her I knew she was extremely knowledgable about planning all events- especially weddings. She was always willing to not only provide her preferred list of vendors, but also talk through the aspects of the wedding that I was doing myself. She was extremely detail oriented which helped with suggestions of how to tie in every aspect of your wedding together. I am beyond thankful that I met Christina and was able to work with her! I can't recommend Christina enough for any and all events!

the wedding world, and just the utmost ease at such a stressful time in our lives. Thinking back, I can’t imagine having done the whole process without her, and how differently it would have turned out. She made such an impact and such a difference. She is so wonderfully good at her job, and it’s because she really wants to make all you’re dreams come true. Making me happy, made her happy. I not only am so thankful to have had her as a wedding planner and such a big part of the most beautiful day of my life, I’m really grateful to know her, as a person. She’s one of those people you meet and will love forever. I wish every bride got the experience I did, having Christina by their side. It makes the wedding world a much brighter place. Invest in your peace of mind and hire her, you will be so happy you did.

life and made our dream wedding a reality! Christina made the whole planning process STRESS FREE. Anything you need she's always there for you, even if it's in the middle of the night. The day before our wedding we decided we wanted an ice luge, Christina made some calls & made it happen & it was a hit at our wedding! If that's not dedication then I don't know what is! Not only is she super detail oriented, her amazing connections & relationships with vendors that share the same passion helped us with the whole planning process. We knew we were in the best of hands because she put our minds at ease & we knew everything would get done in the most perfect & timely manner. She allowed us to focus on the most important part, the "I Do's", and enjoy the party. She's so passionate & puts her heart into making your vision come to life. Working with her was such a pleasure, she's the absolute best!! Throughout the whole process not only did we have the most amazing wedding, but we gained a lifelong friend!! Look no further, YOU NEED TO WORK WITH HER!!

Christina is the BEST of the BEST! From the day we met one another, my husband and I compared every venue we looked at and every wedding planner we met to Christina. The entire process was smooth and stress free with her help and she was present every step of the way. Celebrating with her on our big day was so bittersweet for us because after a year and a half of planning, we were sad to not be in regular contact with her anymore. But even 5 years later, we are still close - that is how dedicated she is to her clients! You will never regret booking with Christina!

ng. Sometimes she knew what I wanted and envisioned before I even did! Christina was a pleasure to work with. She was extremely professional and diligent from the beginning, however, this is not what I loved most about her. Christina is understanding, down to earth, realistic, funny and extremely thoughtful, all of which is important when planning such an important day. She became very close with my family and I as we planned my wedding day together! Throughout the wedding planning process, times often become stressful and chaotic. Christina was my right-hand “man” aka…my right-hand girl. She carried a great sense of humor, a calming demeanor and a helping hand/thought at any time of the day or night. When I called her, emailed her or even texted, at any time, she answered within minutes and always with a pleasant response. With Christina as my wedding planner, nothing was impossible. She made my dream wedding, a beautiful romantic (stress-free) reality. My wedding day is still something my family and friends speak about to this day. It was truly a perfect day and it is all thanks to Christina. She executed everything perfectly, and in a timely manner. When my husband and I walked into our reception room, as well as our guests, we were truly taken aback. There are no words to describe how beautiful the room was decorated. She took my vision and magnified it by 1000x! There was no stone left unturned, as Christina paid attention to every detail, which I could not be more grateful for. She made sure my bridal party and guests were well taken care of in every way throughout the night, something my guests appreciated and remembered! I love how Christina and I’s relationship did not end when the wedding did. Christina became a part of my family, keeping in touch with my mom and I at least once a month. We talk as if we’ve known each other for years, because that is truly how it feels. She truly loves what she does and that is proven through her work and the friends she has made over the years. Christina is someone you want on your team to help plan one of the most important days of your life, and I am lucky enough to have her as a lifelong friend.

e excited for our wedding day. Every step of the way, she worked with us, and guided us to make sure that our wedding day was what we wanted. She listened to our requests and did everything in her power to make it possible. On the day of, she was positive, my biggest cheerleader, and had true attention to detail! Knowing that I was in good hands truly helped me to enjoy the day and relax. Cannot recommend her enough!

orking together all the stresses of wedding planning were lessened. She listened to our vision and completely brought it to life. From helping select entertainment, decor, photogs, honeymoon recs, etc she went beyond to make our party the best day of our lives! Christina listens to what you want and does everything in her power to bring it to life within your budget. She genuinely cares about making your wedding day and events leading up to it as special as can be. Her attention to detail, amazing style and connections completely removed the stress out of the planning process for us. Her presence just allows you to actually enjoy your party, knowing all the minor details and coordinations are being handled. She is literally there for you 24/7 to help with ANYTHING. The day before our wedding we decided we wanted a midnight snack and she got on the phone within seconds and set up an entire pizza station which was a total hit! I cannot express how much Christina means to us, she really became our lifelong friend. I wish she could plan every party for me for the rest of my life! You NEED her.

we were in great hands. Every step of the way through planning, Christina offered us advice and helped guide us when we didn't know what to do. She also recommended other wedding vendors who were honestly INCREDIBLE also!! I always trusted whatever she said, and by doing that, we ended up having the wedding of our dreams. We planned our wedding during the pandemic, which obviously added another layer of stress. Christina was always so positive and real with us, and without her, I probably would've lost it! She is the sweetest human, has the biggest heart, and loves to see her couples happy. She goes above and beyond always and was always there for us (even when I would text her at any point of the day lol). I can NOT say enough amazing things about her. She has become an extension of our family to the point where we still always talk, and my family still asks about how she's doing. Thank you Christina for being INCREDIBLE and for helping us plan the most amazing day of our lives!! We love you!

lanning process. She was professional and incredibly attentive. Being a COVID bride brought many challenges; one of which was the postponement and reschedule of our wedding. During our postponement, Christina left our venue. We knew we absolutely could not have our perfect day without her, so, we hired her to be our day of coordinator. It was the best decision we made. Christina attended final details appointments both in person, over the phone, and via Zoom. She came to my parents’ house and spent hours with us going over every single detail of our day; from timelines, signature drinks, menu items, and even the smallest detail like our request that flipflops not be put on the floor until after our first dance and parent dances had concluded. She assisted us with hiring a last-minute cigar roll and he was definitely a hit. She answered our texts at all hours of the day; calmed us down, laughed with us, cried with us and planned with us. She ensured us that our wedding day would be everything we dreamed of and envisioned and it was. On the day of our wedding, Christina was there bright and early. She spent some time with me and my bridal party while we were getting ready and then went off to ensure everything was as we discussed. One of our florists was over two hours late; she was in communication with the company the entire time and when they arrived, she made sure everything was done the way we had discussed during the detail meeting she had attended months earlier. Christina has such a calm, positive energy which helped keep me calm – I definitely needed it. Christina helped me change into my reception dress, made sure that my now husband and I were fed and had drinks at all times, and made sure that our guests were having an incredible evening. She was everywhere and anywhere that I needed her to be and then some. At the end of wedding, she collected all of our décor items, our bathroom baskets, photo booth items, made sure our cake was packed, and we had everything we had come with – she even helped to pack our cars – incredible. I was the bride who “didn’t need a wedding planner” and let me tell you, it is the single best thing we did. Not only did it make it easier for me and my husband; my parents were able to enjoy the day knowing that everything was absolutely perfect and if something wasn’t right, Christina would have it taken care of immediately. We are so grateful to her for the support she provided leading up to the wedding, during the wedding and after the wedding (post-wedding blues are real!) and we are blessed that we can call her our friend. There are not enough good things to say about Christina and the services she provided - she is worth her weight in gold. She is poised, courteous, and professional. If you are looking for someone who knows the industry inside and out, has contacts in all the right places, and is a genuinely great person, look no further.
